FreeWave Technologies, Inc. is a B2B company based in Boulder, Colorado where it manufactures and designs frequency hopping, spread spectrum radios. Wireless data solutions are utilized in industrial, scientific, military, and commercial applications. The U.S. Army is one of their biggest customers. The company also does network design, path studies, and pre-installation engineering services to ensure reliable, error free data-flow under any condition and in all environments. FreeWave is the only long term radio provider with 100 percent backward compatibility with older products. All radios are tested to operate over the temperature range of -40ºC to +75ºC.

History

Founded in 1993 by Jonathan Sawyer and Steve Wulchin. In June, 2007, TA Associates led a $113 million investment in FreeWave Technologies, Inc.

Accomplishments

In October 2008, FreeWave ranked 26th on Deloitte's Wireless Fast 50 with revenue growth of 112%. FreeWave has been selected for Colorado's Fast 50 for ten consecutive years.

In June 2007 TA Associates, a private equity firm, invested $113 million dollars into FreeWave thus allowing the company to accelerate product development and enhance marketing efforts. A significant portion ($9 million) was given to the employees.

The National Science Foundation's Wireless Field Test Project found the DGR Series the best radios for establishing wireless links to and from data loggers in the field.

Uses

FreeWave radios are used across many industries including oil and gas, military, precision agriculture, golf, water/wastewater and more. For instance, FreeWave radios are used by energy companies to maximize production and reduce operating costs, for mission critical applications within the military, and for environmental monitoring to provide warning of impending natural disasters such as volcanoes.

LTER uses FreeWave at several sites such as Trout Lake, Alaska, Luquillo, and Niwot Ridge. Denver University uses the radios to beam images from their mountain-top observatory. NCAR’s Marshall Test Site uses FreeWave in a complex weather measurement system. Denver International Airport uses the radios in a 30 mile weather link to that Marshall Test Site. BMW Oracle Racing uses FreeWave radios in the America's Cup. The National Geographic Society sponsored two expeditions to the top of Mount Everest in which FreeWave was used as a life-line to remotely communicate the vital signs of the climbers to their base camp.
